MediEvil Reviews
MediEvil 's story, visual design, humor, and charm stand the test of time, but Other Ocean's refusal to upgrade the gameplay and include checkpoints makes it a game that is stuck in the past.
In the end, MediEvil is a rather rough remake. In terms of graphics and style, it does a fantastic job of bringing the kingdom of Gallowmere to modern times. It’s just everything else that is stuck in the past
If you’re a fan of PS1 classics like Crash Bandicoot, or Spyro, but would like a heavier emphasis on action, then MediEvil is just what you’re looking for, especially if you want an old school challenge with some new school tweaks. If you’re not into retro gaming, however, MediEvil won’t be the game to convert you.
MediEvil is a lazily made remake that preserves many of its original flaws, while only doing enough to bring the game up to speed in the current generation of consoles.

This MediEvil remake is an incredibly faithful recreation of the original game many fell in love with in 1998. Fans of the original are going to get a massive nostalgic hit and will love travelling through Gallowmere again. If you haven’t played MediEvil before and really want to, this is the version to get in this day and age. The game’s presentation looks better than ever and much of the sound has been completely recreated. Just be prepared to deal with some issues we haven’t had to deal with in recent gaming generations, as this game certainly plays like a product of its time.
A competent (and definitely faithful) remake that fails to communicate why the original game was a hit when it came out.

The story and writing are still clever, but Dan's adventure hasn't aged well, and ends up being a chore
Other Ocean's MediEvil will delight those who have been waiting for Sir Daniel Fortesque to return for years.

For better or worse, MediEvil is a PS4 game that plays like a PSX game.
Daniel Fortesque's tale is retold with style, but the fundamentals frustrate.
A remake that is loyal to a fault when it comes to honouring the original, with gameplay and design mechanics that were barely acceptable 21 years ago, let alone now.
MediEvil is a rare bit of whimsy from modern Sony, and so while it plays a little bit too much like an artifact of yesteryear, it still got me smiling.
im Burton-esque charm and the fine Lazarus job done on the visuals can only go so far. In the end, these old bones just creak too much.
For those entering in here for the memories of a beloved game, I don’t want to knock the experience for you. This is the game you love! But unlike aforementioned remakes, nostalgia seems like a necessity to enjoy MediEvil rather than just being a bonus. Let all brave knights beware.
This faithful remake of a PlayStation classic is a fun trip down memory lane despite feeling a little dated
Slaying monsters, fighting huge bosses, collecting the secret chalice in each level and making my way to Zarok. I happily did all of this and got the games Platinum in one sitting because MediEvil is as much fun today, as it was when I was a kid.
Fans will get a kick out of seeing the update but everyone else would be better off giving this one a miss altogether.
It's not like MediEvil is bare bones in terms of the improvements on the original. It will be the perfect revisit for fans who have fond memories, but the actual experience of playing it -- especially for new players -- is another thing altogether. For better or worse, MediEvil's PlayStation 4 outing is faithful to the past.
Medievil is a fantastic remake brings us back the first story of Sir Daniel Fortesque, a courageous warrior who will fight with the bones on the air against waves of zombies and demons led by terrible wizard Zarok. This game is what Medievil would have been if you had all the technical possibilities.

There is a lot to like about Medievil. It features a likeable, if slightly dimwitted, protagonist who is doing his best to right the wrongs of the past. The visuals, voice over work and audio are all representative of a title crafted in 2019. Even so, it does a wonderful job of pulling all of the right nostalgic strings for gamers of the 90s who enjoyed the original. Unfortunately, it is this very same nostalgic charm that serves to hamper the experience.
